The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had violated 49 C.F.R. §195.444 and proposed certain measures to correct the violation. Respondent did not contest the Notice. Based upon a review of all of the evidence, pursuant to § 190.213, I find that Respondent violated the pipeline safety regulation listed below, as more fully described in the enclosed Notice: 49 C.F.R. §195.444 (Item 1) ─ Respondent failed to maintain records documenting that the field instrumentation used in its leak detection system were tested and calibrated pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.1.3 of API RP 1130 (incorporated by reference in §195.3). This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement action taken against Respondent. Respondent has completed the actions proposed in the Notice to correct the violation. Therefore, it is not necessary to include a Compliance Order in this Final Order.
